Very good. I added some toffee bits to the peanut layer. They were too chocolately for a couple people, but overall, very good.

This recipe turned out pretty good except for the topper. I omitted the peanut butter and nuts and added a layer of chocolate frosting beneath the vanilla. Using a whole can of vanilla frosting was a bit much, next time I would use whipped. The true failure was the topping, it got stale after only a day and did not stay crunchy like it should have been. Also when making topping need way more chocolate than called for.

Very good brownie bars. Cut them in small squares since they are very rich.I served them to my family with vanilla ice cream. Definitely will feed a crowd since you can cut them smaller.
